I sat down with Hunter Biden, and he called himself the most recognizable addict in the world. Then he told me what he found in that — a reservoir of strength most people never get to see. The full interview is linked in the comments.

Steve Jobs on why he cold-called Bill Hewlett at age 12: "I've actually always found something to be very true, which is most people don't get those experiences because they never ask. I've never found anybody that didn't want to help me if I asked them for help." Steve was 12 years old when he decided to build a frequency counter. As he puts it: "I called up Bill Hewlett when I was 12 years old and he lived in Palo Alto. His number was still in the phone book and he answered the phone himself. He said 'Yes.' I said 'Hi, I'm Steve Jobs. I'm 12 years old. I'm a student in high school and I want to build a frequency counter and I was wondering if you had any spare parts I could have.'" The result: "He laughed and he gave me the spare parts to build this frequency counter. And he gave me a job that summer at Hewlett Packard working on the assembly line putting nuts and bolts together on frequency counters. He got me a job in the place that built them and I was in heaven." He continues: "I've never found anyone who said no or hung up the phone when I called. I just asked. And when people ask me, I try to be as responsive to pay that debt of gratitude back." The problem most people have: "Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask. And that's what separates sometimes the people that do things from the people that just dream about them." On taking action: "You got to act and you've got to be willing to fail. You've got to be willing to crash and burn with people on the phone, with starting a company, with whatever. If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far." The worst they can say is no.

I have gotten far enough into Shawn Ryan’s interview with Hunter Biden to be able to assess. A lot of people giving Shawn a hard time for the “softball” interview… The lack of pushback on important accusations/factually dubious assertions. The interview was certainly conducted more like an intervention than an adversarial interview, but that might have been a strategic decision to get Hunter to open up. You push back on some people, and they turtle up. That said, the interview is nonetheless revealing. It reveals Hunter to be the pathological sociopath/psychopath that he is. The excessive flattery he was displaying towards Shawn is a classic sign of manipulative behavior. I don’t believe Hunter listens to any of Shawn’s podcasts in any meaningful sense, except whatever he listened to in preparation for this interview just so that he could say he has listened before in order to look “open-minded”. Pathological. The nefarious projection while painting himself as the virtuous one: When Hunter was talking about Trump’s Rob Reiner post, saying Trump was green-lighting political violence with that post. Shaun could have pushed back on that concept… instead he added (instead of challenging… a strategic decision) that the constant name-calling of “Nazi” and “fascist” probably lead to the assassination attempts on Donald Trump… And Hunter’s response? “If you don’t want to be called a fascist, don’t act like a fascist”. Once you understand what he believes Trump was doing with his post, you understand what he is doing with that statement: Green-lighting violence against Trump. Pathological. The sociopathic emulating of virtue because he knows it’s what people value in others: The amount of times he said “we have more in common than we have a part”, “I don’t want this to be partisan”, then goes on to blame everything on Trump and paint him as the personification of evil. And anyone who approves of what Trump is doing. Pathological. Hunter talking about how the algorithm is designed to divide us… Then goes onto a diatribe of Epstein being friends with Melania. It’s pathological behavior that he has gotten away with his entire life. And the best part: when he talks about “who benefits” at the very beginning. A classic sign of sociopathy is lack of insight / introspection. The fact that he doesn’t understand he is *literally* describing himself. “the the people that are benefiting are the people that seem to always in some way avoid the consequences and win”. He actually said that, and didn’t realize he was describing himself. Pathological.
